"BlacKkKlansman" is based on the autobiographical book by Ron Stallworth. Set in 1979, the plot follows an African-American detective who sets out to infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado.

Also opening this Friday is "The Meg," which appears to be cut from the same cloth as other shark-themed "Jaws" wanna-bes.

Action star Jason Statham stars as the leader of a group of scientists who must stop a 75-foot Megalodon shark from terrorizing a beach.

Before all the focus shifts to football, it's worth a reminder that baseball is still being played at Marlins Park. That includes this weekend, when the New York Mets come to town.

Miami Marlins' Elieser Hernandez delivers a pitch during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Monday, Aug. 6, 2018, in Miami.

The Marlins are dead last in the NL East with a 47-69 record, but they've actually got the same amount of wins as the Mets. A sweep could have Miami shifting spots with New York, offering a little condolence for those loyal fans who haven't abandoned their team.
